Your pro shop is also required to tune to factory specs which means they will just leave it alone. Your expensive shop tuneup won't be the same as an optimized tune by you with your own tools.
 
Heres one better...my new limbing saw....Stihl 180, has NO ADJUSTMENTS on the carb If it falls out of adjustment so have to replace the carb. I know this because my new one is smoking like crazy and stalling...and dealer will do nothing for me.

Check ebay for AfterMarket MS180 carbs...run from $8-$14.

Are you sure there are no adjustments? I have heard of some being covered in a epoxy type filling.If you dig out the epoxy there are regular adjusting screws under it.
